Global announces team for expanding management and music business
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 10 March 2015
Global Radio’s recently launched US division, which is expanding the media group’s artist management, music publishing and live business, has announced some appointments.
As previously reported, it was confirmed last month that former AEG exec Randy Phillips was now leading Global Entertainment. And joining him for the party are Monti Olson, formerly of Universal Music Publishing, who will head up Global’s publishing operations; Bob Semanovich, who comes from Capitol Records to be Global’s SVP Marketing; Nicola Carson, formerly of Modest!, who becomes VP Artist Management in LA; and back in London, where the Global music business is also expanding, Ben Karter, who joins from James Grant Management to be GM Recorded Music over here.
Meanwhile some existing Global Entertainment execs get new roles within the expanded business, with Paul Adam becoming SVP A&R and Rachel Wood VP Artist Management in London.
Confirming all this, Phillips told reporters: “These executives are all seasoned pros who can think outside-the-box and get the job done for our artists, which fits the Global profile. I have always maintained that a great company is only as great as the people in it, and Monti, Paul, Bob, Ben, Nicola and Rachel are an example of the commitment that Global is making to our industry. There are other significant executive announcements coming now that Global Entertainment is running on all cylinders”.
